I have been stuck inside a very retro mood lately. Between
listening to classic folk music on my drives and watching 1950s low budget
Sci-Fi, I have been living in a nostalgic dream. Next up for review is another
movie from that era, the 1959 Vincent Price classic, The Fly.
Plot/ A scientist has a horrific accident when he tries to
use his newly invented teleportation device.
What can one say, The Fly is a classic, and one of the best
insect flicks of the 1950s. Starring Vincent Price, this movie has absolutely
zero scientific merit, but it is definitely one of the most entertaining and
memorable of the genre. The atmosphere is amazing, the performances solid, and
the special effects were quite impressive for the day. Most importantly, the
ending left a lasting impression on the viewer, and one that will be etched
into their minds. In the end, this movie is a true classic and a movie that
should be seen. Yes, the David Cronenberg remake was good, but this classic is
better.
